Can anyone tell me why Liverpool Exchange Station, with its magnificent frontage, was not used as the portal for the replacement Moorfields underground station nearby?
Moorfields is an ugly carbuncle of a building and certainly does not deserve to represent such a busy and important interchange below.
It would have been much more sensible to use the existing Exchange entrance to serve the Merseyrail lines below, even though British Railways services above ground were terminated.
There is a nearby side entrance to Moorfields on Old Hall Street, so I would have thought it would not have been difficult for the escalators to descend from Exchange.
Does anyone know why it was decided to build the monstrosity that is Moorfields instead?
